We are really sorry, version 4.5 took more time than expected to release, and the beta version has now expired. The final version will be available on our servers shortly, but in the meantime, you can use version 4.1, and let it to upgrade to version 4.5 use the FoxTrot / Check for Updates menu. If you don't have version 4.1, you can download it from:

Dear Jérôme

I had the same problem - but when I reloaded v 4.1 the (large) updated
index would not run because it had been built by a later version and so had
to be rebuilt which took all day.

I have now loaded the new version 4.5 and each time I try to load an index
I get the message "Can't connect to the server "My Computer"" - even when
the index is clearly connected. Do I need to rebuild the indices yet again?

This has been a bit frustrating!

Alan

Either reboot your computer, or manually force-quit all FoxTrot background processes (FTStarter, FTFileIndexer, FTProFileIndexer and FTFileCrawler) using Activity Monitor.

FoxTrot should then launch normally.

Hello
Now the same problem again, with 4.6b2 build 1109
"This preliminary build has expired!"

So I have to go back to version 4.5.2 ?

Regards, Oliver

Same here. Any chance this can be sorted sooner rather than later?
